About us at
Baytown Black Belt Academy
Our School
We aspire to make tomorrow a better day than today at Baytown Black Belt Academy. Students are taught to grow little by little as they reach their goals. We emphasize teaching life skills and providing an outlet to express yourself and relieve stress. While students learn necessary skills, they are taught our unique style of Taekwondo: In wha (meaning Unbroken Glory). Our style is centered on teaching students true self-defense. This comes with our new organization, American Martial Arts Systems, that is focused on student progression rather than money. This includes our program training students to become instructors to build their own schools. Everything we do at Baytown is for our students’ growth!
Our History
Baytown Black Belt Academy has been running strong since 2000. Andres Faina opened our doors after years of loving Taekwondo and martial arts. His passion grew after earning his black belt with his two sons and helped his daughter earn hers. The joyful moments and lessons martial arts teaches has always been more important to him than rankings. This led to Baytown Black Belt Academy moving from organizations that seemed inauthentic to joining American Martial Arts Systems, with Andres as the CEO. The organization branches off the Peru company and focuses on self-defense and building instructors rather than earning money. Baytown Black Belt Academy has been, is, and always will be for our students first.
